I am grandfathered in at $5.00 a month USD, but I chose to buy the gold club package last year as well. I didn't regret it much then. However with the proposed benefits for the new gold club package... I'm not impressed enough to pay an additional ~$26 for next year.
I might think about it if they included the ability to convert loyalty points into rune coins. Or if they included ORS in this package. I still have that ORS membership Jagex decided to extend for 6 months a while back - it will be running out for me soon, and I don't even know if I want to bother paying extra for ORS.
The lack of response or changes based on the feedback is also another reason why I most likely won't be buying the gold club package. If Jagex truly wants to see more profits, I would highly recommend that you listen to the loyal veterans. They (including I) have been around for many years and know what they want. I can guarantee you that the SOF, General Solomen's store, promotional items, etc, are NOT what we want. Hell, if Jagex could guarantee that they would eliminate all the microtransactions, that would actually be an incentive for me to pay more for this game.
